Liddle Collection
The
Liddle Collection was founded over thirty years ago to collect and preserve
first-hand individual experiences of the First World War. The archive includes
original letters and diaries, official and personal papers, photographs,
newspapers and artwork, as well as written and tape-recorded recollections.
Material is arranged within 30 sections, according to nature of service or geographical area, and these are listed in the Summary Guide. This guide also contains subject indexes to uncatalogued material where appropriate. A further section is devoted to material relating to the Second World War.
"Soldiers in Khaki 1914-1918: British and Commonwealth Experience on the Western Front" is a CD-ROM containing images, text and sound clips compiled from materials in the Liddle Collection. It is available for use in the Special Collections Reading Room on request.
